The Oracle programmers have asked me to look at some kind of version control. They do a lot of revision to things like Oracle Reports 2.5 files. These files are non-text binary files. I was looking at RCS on unix and the various freeware window front ends from GNU, etc.
However, the man page for RCSINFO clearly states that rcs is for text only files and could corrupt binary files. But from what ive read on the web and from others here at work it sounds like people are using rcs for non-text files.
Am I missing something or does anyone have any suggestions?
thank you,
Mark Grossman

Re: RCS usage question
Unless the model has been changed, SCCS always start with the fist version checked in, then applies all intermediate edits to get to the latest version.
Consider CVS which is currently built on RCS to mange files in projects. It will check for binary files when importing the initial files and allows for binary and text addtions to the repository. WinCVS provides a browser type interface for Windows if that is desired. There is also an module that provides an SCC compliant interface.
